Chris ☛ NixOS is making me less afraid
For the past few years, my rss feeds have lived locally on my phone only. There was a good idea behind that I can mostly take time to read when I’m away from my computer anyway, but it never quite worked in practice. For one, many things are easier to read on a larger screen. But it was also brittle to trust a phone app to manage the read/unread status of thousands of articles across a hundred feeds. What I really wanted was a server-side feed aggregator. This is software that runs on a server, manages rss feeds, and then I can read the rss feeds either through a web interface, or through client applications. I’ve wanted that for a while, but I’ve never taken the step, because it would be yet another side project to maintain the deployment of.
